فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ حَلَقْتُ وَلَمْ أَنْحَرْ قَالَ لَا حَرَجَ وَجَاءَهُ آخَرُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ نَحَرْتُ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَرْمِيَ قَالَ فَارْمِ وَلَا حَرَجَ

'Affan narrated to us, Wuhayb narrated to us, 'Abdullah ibn 'Uthman ibn Khuthaym narrated to us, from Sa'id ibn Jubayr, from Ibn 'Abbas رضي الله عنهما that a man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, my mother has died and she had an unfulfilled vow of fasting a month. Shall I fast on her behalf?' He said: 'If your mother had a debt, would you pay it on her behalf?' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Then the debt owed to Allah is more deserving of being paid.'
